Let’s talk about white dial Panerai
I recently acquired a white dial Panerai and am finding it to be a perfect summer watch. Bright and readable, and to me the great Panerai design cues work as well with white as they do with black. I know that the whites are not every Paneristi’s cuppa, but I’m really liking this one.
Looking forward to hearing other’s thoughts, both pro and con. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I been on that boat of getting a white Panerai for a while. And I think I have reach my own conclusion about them after I got my Pam 791
Not exactly white , is ivory. But here is my conclusion after owning this for a couple of months. They are very cool, but I feel like that they are not really Panerai, well they are but you know what I mean (not the Panerai that I have embedded in my head) . So my conclusion is this is that white (or ivory) Panerai are great as long as you have a the classic dark dial Panerai already on your stable , meaning as a second Panerai. Because otherwise I find myself looking for something that is missing. In my case I have to decide that I either add a second Panerai or I sell this one for a dark one. Of course all this is my personal experience, yours might vary Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations.
I have a 654. I have/have had various other coloured dials (green//blue/'decayed'/tobacco) and contrary to the view that a white is a compliment to a more classic dial, I feel that the 654 could easily be an only Panerai. Lovely cleanliness to it and a beauty on the wrist IMO. I see no reason any other white (or ivory) doesn't stand in its own. Must admit to a bit of love for the blue handed white dial in the 786 box set, but I don't really get on with the Bettorini style cases so I won't be getting one.

Wow, that’s a stunner. I know what you mean about it not being your typical Panerai, but I’d have a hard time selling that one |

499 and it will look good on almost any straps you mount on it.

I like the white dial Panerai's but have never owned one. Maybe in the future.

I have the 563. I like the white dial and think it looks best on the standard Luminor case (no disrespect to anyone else). My only issue with the 563 is the 8 day P5000 movement (it runs very fast in the first day before it evens out).
As far as aesthetics, I think it definitely makes sense to have a white dial in your collection. It wouldn't be my first Panerai, but they add something special to a collection. I put mine the on the tan nubuck JV strap and it looks fantastic in the summer. |

I have 2 white dial Panerai. The other is an old school 114. IMO - having a black, white and tobacco dial is complete.

White dials are amazing, very crisp and refreshing. I have the 563 and my wife has the 113. Probably not as your only Panerai, but definitely as a second one to complement a black dial PAM.

499 on a Mauser Ammo strap by Micah of Vintager. I love the buckle too.
Sorry to bore you all with my 499. Confession - we are doing a challenge. One watch for one month (July) so, it’s halfway now. Another 15 days to go. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Wifey wants a Panerai Due 38mm w/ white dial as a push present. Wish I could make that happen for her!
